His name was William Russell.NixiPollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17571173404046957960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2705771450596300887.post-16418439038354012372019-02-20T11:17:08.594+00:002019-02-20T11:17:08.594+00:00Samuel Kingan's younger sister Jane Kingan Rei...Samuel Kingan's younger sister Jane Kingan Reid lived at Netherleigh House (covered elsewhere in this blog - now a government building). Jane was married to James Stafford Reid. Her 2 oldest sons Samuel and William James went to America in 1875 to work for their uncle Sam's meatpacking firm. They settled in the plant HQ town of Indianapolis - but not before trying their own firm in Kansas City called Reid Bros. The merger of the Sinclair & Kingan meat packers seems to have coincided with the marriage of Samuel Kingan (about age 50) to Jane Sinclair. William James Reid was my great-grandfather. His youngest sister Fannie married John Byers - Professor of Midwifery at Queen’s University (knighted in 1906). John Byers had a keen interest in the Ulster dialect and folklore. His son Stafford was an early recruit to the WWII OSS (Casablanca Operation Torch & Yugoslavia with Tito). Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
